Abstract

The invention relates to a plug adapter (1) for a hip endoprosthesis, comprising a cone-shaped receiving element (2) formed specifically for the prosthetic shaft on the one side and an external cone for connection to the joint ball on the other side. The plug connection has increased stability. Said increased stability is achieved by means of a U or V shaped recess (3, 6) in the plug adapter, which results in increased elasticity of the cone seat on the prosthetic shaft. Another improvement is achieved in the clamping joint by virtue of the fact that the internal cone merges into a curvature.

Description

Steckadapter für eine Hüftendoprothese Plug adapter for a hip endoprosthesis
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckadapter für eine Hüftendoprothese mit einer besonders ausgebildeten konusförrhigen Aufnahme für den Prothesenschaft auf der einen Seite und einem Außenkonus für die Verbindung mit einer Gelenkkugel auf der anderen Seite, wobei die Steckverbindung eine erhöhte Festigkeit aufweistThe invention relates to a plug adapter for a hip endoprosthesis with a specially designed cone-shaped receptacle for the prosthesis socket on one side and an outer cone for connection to a joint ball on the other side, the plug connection having increased strength
Die Verwendung von Steckadaptern mit konusförmiger Aufnahme für Endoprothesen, als Bindeglied zwischen dem Schaft einer implantierten Hüftendoprothese und der Steckkugel ist allgemein bekannt.The use of plug-in adapters with a cone-shaped receptacle for endoprostheses, as a link between the shaft of an implanted hip endoprosthesis and the plug-in ball, is generally known.
Ein derartiges Steckadapter-System ist beispielsweise in der US-PS 5,362,311 bekannt gemacht worden, bei dem auf einem konusförmigen Schaft einer implantierten Hüftendoprothese ein länglicher Steckadapter mit einem Innen- und Außenkonus aufgebracht werden kann, wobei auf dem Außenkonus des Steckadapters eine Gelenkkugel mit entsprechendem Innenkonus aufgesetzt wird. Der konusförmige Hals des Prothesenschaftes geht dabei eine Konus- Steckverbindung über den Steckadapter mit der Steckkugel ein. Gegenstand dieser Patentbeschreibung ist ein Steckadapter, der eine Anpassung der Länge des Prothesenschaftes an die Beinlänge des jeweiligen Patienten ermöglicht. Auch in weiteren Veröffentlichungen sind Ausführungsformen von etallkonen beschrieben worden, die entweder der Positionierung des Keramikkugelkopfes zur Endoprothese dienen (GM 201 01 160.3) oder die Auslenkung der künstlichen Gelenkpfanne gegenüber der Gelenkprothese beeinflussen (PCT WO 00/69372).Such a plug-in adapter system has been made known, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,362,311, in which an elongated plug-in adapter with an inner and outer cone can be applied to a conical shaft of an implanted hip endoprosthesis, with a joint ball with a corresponding inner cone on the outer cone of the plug-in adapter is put on. The conical neck of the prosthesis socket enters into a conical plug connection via the plug adapter with the plug ball. The subject of this patent description is a plug-in adapter which enables the length of the prosthesis shaft to be adapted to the leg length of the respective patient. Also in other publications, embodiments of metal cones have been described which either serve to position the ceramic ball head for the endoprosthesis (GM 201 01 160.3) or influence the deflection of the artificial joint socket relative to the joint prosthesis (PCT WO 00/69372).
Um einen festen Sitz der Konusverbindung zu sichern werden hohe Anforderungen sowohl an die Oberflächenausbildung des Außenkonus des implantierten Schaftes als auch an den Innenkonus des Steckadapters gestellt. Gleichzeitig darf die Stabilität und Festigkeit der Wandstärke eines Steckadapters nicht beeinträchtigt werden.In order to ensure a tight fit of the cone connection, high demands are placed both on the surface formation of the outer cone of the implanted shaft and on the inner cone of the plug adapter. At the same time, the stability and strength of the wall thickness of a plug-in adapter must not be impaired.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckadapter zu schaffen, der über einen verbesserten Festsitz der Konusverbindung bei unveränderter fertigungsbedingter Rauheit der Oberflächen des Innenkonus und des Außenkonus auch dann verfügt, wenn wie es im Falle von Revisionsoperationen vorkommt, der Prothesenkonus Schädigungen aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a plug-in adapter that also has an improved tight fit of the cone connection with unchanged production-related roughness of the surfaces of the inner cone and the outer cone decides if the prosthesis cone is damaged, as is the case with revision surgery.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, das der Adapter an der Seite des größten Durchmessers eine Materialaussparung aufweist durch die der Konus eine Erhöhung der Elastizität erfährt. Durch die größere Elastizität des Konus werden Konusfehler kompensiert und fertigungsbedingte Rauheiten ausgeglichen. Zwischen dem Innenkonus und dem Außenkonus entsteht durch den verbesserten Kontakt der Oberflächen eine größere Festigkeit der Verbindung, Spannungsspitzen werden vermieden. Die Kompensation der Konusfehler ist beim Einsatz von Steckadaptern bei Revisionsoperationen von besonderer Bedeutung, da festsitzende Prothesen, deren Konus beschädigt ist, dann nicht zwingend ausgetauscht werden müssen.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the adapter has a material recess on the side of the largest diameter through which the cone experiences an increase in elasticity. Due to the greater elasticity of the cone, cone errors are compensated and manufacturing-related roughness is compensated. Due to the improved contact of the surfaces, a greater strength of the connection is created between the inner cone and the outer cone, stress peaks are avoided. Compensation for the cone errors is of particular importance when using plug-in adapters for revision operations, since fixed prostheses whose cone is damaged do not necessarily have to be replaced.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform besitzt ein Steckadapter eine langgezogene U- oder V-förmige Aussparung, die in einer vorteilhaften Ausführung parallel zur Konusinnenwand des Steckadapters ausgebildet ist. Günstige Werte hinsichtlich der Elastizität wurden erreicht, wenn die Tiefe der Aussparung über 20% der Sitzlänge des Konus beträgt. Die Tiefe der Aussparung kann bis zu 40% der Sitzlänge des Konus betragen.According to one embodiment, a plug-in adapter has an elongated U-shaped or V-shaped recess which, in an advantageous embodiment, is formed parallel to the inner wall of the cone of the plug-in adapter. Favorable values with regard to elasticity were achieved when the depth of the recess is over 20% of the seat length of the cone. The depth of the recess can be up to 40% of the seat length of the cone.
In einerweiteren Ausführung wurde die U-förmige Aussparung annähernd parallel zur Mittellinie des Steckadapters ausgeführt. Durch die abnehmende Dicke der Wandung des Steckadapters zu der Seite seines größten Durchmessers erfolgt ebenfalls eine elastische Anpassung an den Außenkonus der Endoprothese.In a further embodiment, the U-shaped recess was made approximately parallel to the center line of the plug adapter. Due to the decreasing thickness of the wall of the plug adapter to the side of its largest diameter, there is also an elastic adaptation to the outer cone of the endoprosthesis.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform wurde die Aussparung in Form einer langgezogenen Fase ausgeführt, wobei die Wandstärke durch eine annähernd parallel zur Mittellinie geführte Fasenausbildung bestimmt wird.In a further embodiment, the recess was designed in the form of an elongated chamfer, the wall thickness being determined by a chamfer formation running approximately parallel to the center line.
Zur Verbesserung der Klemmverbindung wurde in Verbindung mit den erfinderischen Aussparungen, der Innenkonus durch Verzerrung der Kontur zum größeren Durchmesser hin verengt. Gegenüber dem Idealkonus entsteht ein Kurvenverlauf. Durch aufschieben des Steckadapters wird dieser elastisch erweitert und es kommt zu einer gewollten Verklemmung. Im folgenden werden bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher dargestellt. Es zeigen:To improve the clamping connection, the inner cone was narrowed by distorting the contour to the larger diameter in connection with the inventive recesses. Compared to the ideal cone, a curve is created. By pushing on the plug adapter, this is expanded elastically and there is a deliberate jamming. Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:
